Time for another Giveaway

I was recently contacted by the people at I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. They invited me to come visit the Unilever test kitchen along with a nine other bloggers for an all-expense paid trip to NYC to paricipate in a Holiday Bakeoff.

As part of the trip to NYC for the Bakeoff, ICBINB has offered up a giveaway (valued at $150) for one lucky reader so that you can recreate my recipe at home!

So I’m sure you’re all wondering what recipe I chose to enter into the bakeoff. Do you remember these White Chocolate Cranberry cupcakes? Yea, they’re awesome. And perfect for the holidays. So perfect that I think they can win this little Holiday Bakeoff. Wish me luck! I’ll be sure to post about the trip after next weekend.

And now on to the giveaway. ICBINB put together a baking package consisting of a Dualit 5-speed hand mixer, a flour sifter, 15 qt Oxo mixing bowl, a 24 cupcake carrier, and of course some coupons for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. There will be LOTS of chances to win this fabulous package.

What an awesome giveaway! I always look forward to the holiday dessert…especially my mom’s array of cookies! I’ll have to post some of the recipes, like her peanut butter chocolate cookies and classic sugar cutout cookies : )

How could I have forgotten buckeyes! My mom made them every Christmas season and I made them last year and remembered how much I loved them. I’m going to make sure to carry on the tradition again this year.

If I had to pick my favorite Thanksgiving recipe among many,it would be my Daddy’s turkey! He stuffs it with “mofongo” which is deep fried green plantains that are then mashed with olive oil, garlic salt and sometimes fried pork. It is to die for!

Ok, here’s another holiday favorite for all the little kids in the family: on the appetizer side, I always made pinwheel sandwiches for the kids – pb&j; cream cheese and jelly; tuna; whatever. They were always a big hit with the kids and I’d make them for school parties too. You know, the ones where there are 4 different kinds of brownies, about a dozen dozen of cookies, and all sweets. The teachers appreciated the fact that they had some real food to serve the kids.

And my Mom always made Swedish spritz cookies with a cookie press. They were the most elaborate thing she ever made, with sprinkles of different colors, or those silver balls. They were great. I can’t make them without remembering her, that’s what makes them special.
